Aybars
Aybars is a Turkish forename meaning either "gray/yellow leopard" or "leopard of the moon", related to Turkic mythology. The stem of the name comes from "ay" ('moon' in Turkic) and "bars" ('leopard' in Turkic).[1] However, according to Pritsak and Nishanyan, the first word is "oy" rather than "ay", which means 'gray' or 'yellow' or 'brown', hence the meaning of the name is 'yellow/gray/brown leopard', referencing to lion.[2]
